What do I enter for other expenses?

Enter expenses for business gifts, education (tuition, fees, and books), trade publications, etc.

If you're deducting depreciation or claiming a section 179 deduction, see Form 4562  and the Form 4562 instructions  to calculate the depreciation and section 179 deduction to include here.

Don't include expenses for any of the following:
  • Educator expenses you're deducting elsewhere on your return.
  • Expenses for meals, taxes, or interest (car loan interest can't be deducted by employees).
  • Entertainment and entertainment-related meal expenses, membership dues, and facilities used in connection with these activities.
